I vacillated between 3 and 4 stars. The location is nice, and it is a good spot for people-watching. On the other hand, it is unbelievably small and crowded, which I ended up finding oppressive during the long wait for the check. While I can't say the food was exceptional, it was decent, and it is an inventive departure from... More

Visited the bar on many occasions and it quickly turned into one of my favorite night spots. The perfectplace to start a night out in San Cristobal. The wine is very reasonably priced (20-30 pesos) and includes tapa and popcorn--they also serve food, which I never tried. Very chill, cozy enviroment, perfect for drinking wine with friends and conversation. Another... More

We loved this little wine bar in San Cristobal, a great place for a good glass of wine, very relaxed and free tapas to boot! There are tables on the street which are great for people watching on Real de Guadalupe, but when it's a bit chilly in the evening the inside tables and seats at the bar are perfect... More

Had a drink and snacks here the other night. Friendly staff, great vibe/music, and nice, unique Mexican wines. Definitely check it out!

La Vina is tiny, very conveniently located, with a great wine selection at reasonable prices. They serve a tapa with each glass of wine, so it is pretty easy to have a light meal, which is a great way to end the day, if you have had a large lunch.

This is an awesome little wine bar with a cool vibe. The house red for 30 pesos is really good. They provide you with little tapas for free when you order drinks. The tapas is not amazing but it is a nice thought - and seeing it is free you can't be too fussy. Live music in the street outside.

Funky place with a great wine selection. Food was very good and wait staff are great. Nice to see little touches that make a dining experience a touch classy but not pretentious.
